In that gdb output, you can see I've printed out the errno value: 22
(EINVAL) . As for the fact that gdb can't show stack variables, can you give
me a hint for a possible cause? As I told you, now I'm using the latest
available version of gdb for HPUX. The platform linker is being used (not
gnu linker) and the only additional flags I've passed to bjam were:
cxxflags=-mlp64 linkflags=-mlp64.

I don't know how much you're interested that boost.interprocess supports
HPUX platforms, if at all. I you think it would be useful, I could provide
you a VPN access to the HPUX host, so that you could check for your self
what's happening.

I'm afraid my experience doesn't allow me to accomplish such a task, I'm
sorry. Maybe someone else in the mailing list could have the knowledge to do
it.

I think it is. At least Boost.thread builds correctly with aCC.

Thank you very much for your help.
